Going to Recess Instead of Problem Solving
In a true exhibition of leadership, the House of Representatives is going to recess instead of problem-solving. There is $1-$3.5 trillion coronavirus stimulus measure hanging fire. There are multiple versions of the bill. The negotiations have been ongoing. The latest stumbling block is USPS funding.
Did You Vote to Send Your Tax Dollars to China?
China is guilty of unleashing a deadly, life-altering virus on the world. Yet, the American taxpayer has sent money to the Chinese government. That’s correct, China has taken American taxpayer dollars as part of the Paycheck Protection Program.
Progressives are Holding Another Small Business Bailout Hostage for Political Leverage
Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal admits that she and her progressive colleagues are blocking the PPP legislation. They do not want to pass legislation providing relief to small businesses. They believe it more important to hold on to political leverage.
Team Trump Takes Tone Deaf Nancy Pelosi’s Expensive Fridge Full of Pricey Ice Cream For a Ride
If you missed it Nancy was on late-night television sharing some of her secure-in-place goodies. Expensive chocolates and massive twin high-end ‘fridges with pricey ice cream “that just got restocked.” This is the same woman who just blocked a clean bill to refund the small business compensation fund.
Refusing To Fund Small Business Rescue Loans
It has been a week since the Senate attempted to add funding to the PPP. Speaker Pelosi and her Democrat acolytes are refusing to fund loans to save small businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. She refuses to acknowledge the government took away the right of these businesses to operate.
Calling this a bailout is crap. This is compensation for the harm being done by the government.
Do you own a small business or know someone who does? Small businesses are the engine of growth of the American economy. Most new job creation comes from small businesses. Innovation comes through small businesses.
Payroll Tax Deferral Relief
The CARES Act offers a payroll tax deferral relief. Your business can defer the 6.2% employer portion of the Social Security tax. That is a component of FICA tax on the first $137,700 of an employee’s 2020 wages. Note: That is for wages paid during the deferral period. The deferral period began on the 3/27/20 and will end on 12/31/20.
I Think She’d Say Something like this, Harrell!
Yesterday morning hapless Harrell ‘Jersey Shore’ Kirstein (The New Hampshire Democrat Propaganda Minister) tweeted this.
PPP is left leaning and always suspect, with a tendency to over-sample for favorable Democrat outcomes, but maybe HK was just looking for a silver lining seeing as the UNH Poll, albeit with a smaller sample, came out with some contradictory results he chose NOT to share.
New Hampshire’s junior senator, Republican Kelly Ayotte, has also seen her favorability rating largely unchanged since February. Currently, 50% of New Hampshire adults have a favorable opinion of Ayotte, 25% have an unfavorable opinion of her, 9% are neutral and 16% don’t know enough about her to say. Ayotte’s net favorability rating is +25%, up from +23% in February. Her net favorability remains high among Republicans at +74% and low among Democrats where it is at -21%. Her net favorability rating among Independents has also stayed steady at +38%.
Emphasis mine… because in the UNH poll she owns Republicans, and most importantly …with independents she is +38. No point in sharing that, eh Harrell. But while we’re ‘sharing, that UNH poll had some other important news that might be of even greater concern to Democrats like Kirstein, given that Ayotte is not facing re-election next year and New Hampshire’s two Democrat congress-critters are.
